The present invention features an all-in-one system for vascular access and closure. In particular, this invention features systems and methods for forming holes in blood vessels and rapidly closing these vessel holes using an all-in-one system. For example, an arterial access and closure port system is disclosed herein to provide fail-safe percutaneous entry and exit into any artery, particularly useful for high flow and high pressure arteries such as the carotid artery. The present invention is a single system that forms and closes vascular holes and can be used for percutaneous arterial access with interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, neuro-intervention, endovascular surgery, and endovascular neurosurgery.

An inductive inline dialysis fluid heater is disclosed. In an example, a dialysis fluid heater includes a cylindrical tube including an inner diameter that is between 4.00 millimeters (“mm”) and 12.7 mm. The dialysis fluid heater also includes a susceptor located within the cylindrical tube and an inductive coil extending around the cylindrical tube in a non-contacting arrangement. The dialysis fluid heater further includes power electronics in electrical communication with the inductive coil and configured to supply an electrical current to the inductive coil, causing the susceptor to heat.

A surgical access device has a housing and a tubular member extending from the housing. A collar includes proximal and distal walls along with first and second sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls have a circular configuration and join the proximal and distal walls. The collar is repositionable along a length of the tubular member. A cavity is defined between the proximal and distal walls and the first and second sidewalls. The cavity is configured to store a quantity of a fluid therein. Pores extend through the distal wall and each pore is configured to allow a predetermined quantity of the fluid to flow therethrough. A port is disposed through the proximal wall and is in fluid communication with the cavity. The port is configured to allow the fluid to be introduced into the cavity.

The present invention relates to novel surgical drains and associated methods and systems. Specifically, the present invention includes a surgical drain with at least two ports. A first port drains lymphatic fluid from a subject for collection and analysis. The second port functions to introduce a therapeutic into the subject.

To reduce the suffering of the patient and enable easier removal of excess fluid such as pleural effusion fluid from the chest space, the disclosure provides a catheter for chest drainage intended for removal of excess fluid from a chest space of a living body and to be placed in the living body in such a manner as to extend from an inside of the chest space to an outside of the living body. The catheter includes a passage member formed of a flexible sheet and having a passage through which the excess fluid is to be drained, and an indwelling member formed of an elastic body and provided at a proximal end of the passage member. The indwelling member has an inlet that allows the excess fluid to flow through. The indwelling member includes a retaining portion spreading in a flange shape and being retainable at a chest wall.

A hemostasis pressure device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the hemostasis pressure device includes a reusable component and a disposable cuff. The disposable cuff includes a pre-inflated pad configured to be placed at an access site on a patient. A knob secured to the reusable component is configured to control the pressure applied to the pre-inflated pad, providing incremental, fine-tuned control of pressure applied to the access site to achieve patent hemostasis.

Disclosed is a stereotactic guidance device which rotates a driving part of a drug injection device in order to find a target point in a patient's skull and which can be assembled and disassembled so that a guide tube unit is provided inside the driving part. The disclosed stereotactic guidance device can comprise: a guide handle which is coupled to and provided in the driving part, and which accommodates the guide tube unit so as to adjust same to be localized to the target point and guides the guide tube unit so that same is provided inside the driving part; a probe accommodation part which is provided at the guide handle, and which accommodates a navigation probe; tube connecting parts which are connected to and provided at the guide handle and can be assembled and disassembled as at least a pair, of which each one end is inserted into the guide handle and the other ends are held at the upper portion of the guide handle, and which guide the guide tube unit so that same is inserted into and mounted in the driving part; and a guide wire which is provided in the guide handle and the guide tube unit, and which guides and adjusts direction toward the target point.

Techniques, systems and apparatus for anchoring a therapy delivery device within a body portal are disclosed. An anchoring apparatus may comprise a first part comprising an outer sidewall and opposing grip surfaces. The outer sidewall may extend around a longitudinal axis of the apparatus to define an outer perimeter, at least a portion which may engage a surface of the body portal. A second part may comprise first and second activation members and a slot configured to receive the therapy delivery device. When the therapy delivery device is received in the slot and the second part is moved generally along the longitudinal axis, the first and second activation members may move the opposing grip surfaces toward one another to thereby anchor the therapy delivery device between the opposing grip surfaces.

The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of an occlusive medical device including a frame and at least one closure coupled to the frame. The frame includes a distal annular flange having a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface, a proximal annular flange having a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface, and a waist portion extending between and connecting the distal annular flange to the proximal annular flange. The radially inner surface of the distal annular flange, the waist member, and the radially inner surface of the proximal annular flange define an unobstructed passageway through the frame. The at least one closure is configured to close the passageway to: (i) provide an occlusive effect, and (ii) enable subsequent access through the passageway.

The devices, systems, and methods include a catheter including a flexible tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the catheter defining a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The tube defines a plurality of slits. The distal end of the tube includes an atraumatic tip configured to be advanced through an opening in a skull to a target treatment site within the brain. A detachable connector is attached to the proximal end of the tube. Upon delivery of a fluid to the catheter from an external fluid source, the slits in the tube are responsive to pressure of the fluid within the catheter, by the slits opening to disperse the fluid from the lumen of the tube. The slits are responsive to a drop in pressure of the fluid within the catheter, by the slits closing.
